Opportunity Information: Apply for L22AS00288
The Bureau of Land Management (BLM) Nevada Fuels Management and Community Fire Assistance opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number L22AS00288) is a discretionary federal grant program offered through the U.S. Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management. It is designed to support work in the natural resources arena, specifically activities tied to fuels management and community fire assistance in Nevada. In practical terms, the program is aimed at reducing wildfire risk and improving community resilience by funding efforts that help manage hazardous fuels, support fire-adapted communities, and advance related prevention and mitigation work consistent with BLM land management and fire program priorities.
Awards under this opportunity are made as cooperative agreements, which generally means the BLM expects substantial involvement in the project beyond simply issuing funds and receiving reports. Cooperative agreements are commonly used when the agency anticipates collaborating with the recipient on planning, technical input, coordination, or oversight during project implementation. The program is listed under CFDA (now commonly referred to as Assistance Listing) 15.228, which corresponds to BLM fuels management activities. The posted award ceiling for this opportunity is $215,000, setting an upper limit on the amount that can be requested or awarded per project under this notice, depending on project scope and BLM budget decisions. The opportunity was created on April 5, 2022, and had an original closing date of June 7, 2022, indicating a defined application window for eligible entities to submit proposals.
Eligibility is limited to public and nonprofit entities and certain education institutions, reflecting the program's public-purpose focus. Eligible applicants include state, county, and city/township governments; special district governments; independent school districts; public and state-controlled institutions of higher education; private institutions of higher education; federally recognized Native American tribal governments; other Native American tribal organizations; public housing authorities/Indian housing authorities; and nonprofits with or without 501(c)(3) status (as long as they are not institutions of higher education in those nonprofit categories). Importantly, individuals and for-profit organizations are explicitly ineligible to apply, which means private companies and individual consultants cannot be direct applicants under this notice, though they may sometimes participate as contractors or partners if an eligible applicant leads the project and follows applicable procurement and grant rules.
A key restriction in the notice relates to youth internships and crews. This NOFO does not support entities hiring interns or crews under the Public Lands Corps Act of 1993. The notice emphasizes that the Public Lands Corps Act (16 USC, Chapter 37, Subchapter II) is the only legislative authority that allows BLM to "hire" interns under that specific authority, and as a result, Youth Conservation Corps participation is directed elsewhere. If an organization is seeking to develop youth conservation or crew-based projects tied to BLM lands using Public Lands Corps-type arrangements, the notice points applicants to a different funding avenue: NOFO 15.243, BLM Youth Conservation Opportunities on Public Lands. In other words, this Nevada fuels and community fire assistance opportunity is intended for fuels and fire assistance work, but it is not the proper vehicle for proposals centered on intern or crew hiring under the Public Lands Corps framework.
Overall, this opportunity is best understood as funding for Nevada-based projects that reduce hazardous fuels and strengthen community wildfire preparedness and resilience, with awards administered through collaborative cooperative agreements, available only to governmental, tribal, nonprofit, and eligible educational institutions, and with clear boundaries excluding individuals, for-profit entities, and Public Lands Corps intern/crew hiring activities.Apply for L22AS00288
